AWS Cloud-Based Portfolio Website with ChatGPT Integration
This project houses the Infrastructure as Code (IaC) necessary for deploying a personal portfolio website on AWS. It employs an array of AWS services and incorporates a real-time chat interface powered by OpenAI's ChatGPT.
Overview
The portfolio website, aside from showcasing work, includes a contact form and a real-time chat interface. Both functionalities are achieved through AWS services, providing a serverless, scalable, and secure solution. Notably, the website caters to both 'www' and non-www redirections through a separate S3 bucket and CloudFront distribution. All buckets are private, with access limited to specific identities and roles.
Privacy and Implementation
The design of the website prioritizes user privacy, with no cookies being stored during site usage. This ensures user data privacy and GDPR compliance. Technically, the website's frontend is hosted on an Amazon S3 bucket, with a separate S3 bucket managing redirection for 'www' and non-'www' traffic. All buckets are private and accessible only via specific access identities and roles. The website utilizes AWS services for functionalities like email forwarding and chatbot operation.
Architecture
The architecture comprises the following AWS services:
- S3 Buckets: Host the static website and manage redirections.
- CloudFront Distributions: Cater to content delivery, caching, and HTTPS requests.
- Route 53: Links domain names to the respective resources.
- API Gateway: Triggers the Lambda function corresponding to the request's resource path.
- Lambda Functions: Handles chat interactions (via ChatGPT integration) and forwards emails.
- SES (Simple Email Service): Facilitates email forwarding from the contact form to a personal email account.
- Secrets Manager: Safeguards the ChatGPT API key.
